You don't see how a drop in enrollment for Algebra indicates fewer 8th graders are prepared to take Algebra?

Not if they so many were failing it in the first place, which means they weren't prepared to take it in the first place.

In other words, if 50% take a course and hflf of them aren't prepared for it and either fail or almost fail, then their enrollment in a course is not meaningful nor is the drop in enrollment because they changed the curriculum and providing a foundational course instead.
